Exactly.
Yeah that’s a tough call. I’m unsure about that one. Bigger garage anyone? Haha. Or I could watch after a car for you!
Same. I've wanted a 93 cobra for along time, but I don't want to spend 50k+ when I can get a lot more car. So we ended up with the 19 GT350.
I paid a lot for our 93 reef blue hatch which is stock except for a catback exhaust. It's definitely nostalgic, but really just a turd with rattle's lol. I paid enough that it would take the right buyer to break even. Probably won't get driven a lot.

Well of course. As it’s been stated before everyone’s financials are different. If someone wants to spend more money for an older classic car, by all means. I think we are just saying in creature comforts of it. For the same price of a 93 cobra in todays current market he got a Shelby GT350.
Agreed. Just that once you hit the 50k Terminator mark a 50k 13-14 GT500 or GT350 seems like a performance bargain.
The terminator used to be an attractive bang for the buck but now it seems like your paying for nostalgia or the bucket list hype.
I do understand the premium for the classic stock mint car but I see these 30k+ mile used/modded terminators for 45k+ price tags and it just seems silly to me these days unless it CO of course
But that’s just like..my opinion man
Thank you, I appreciate it! That's another reason why I thought about selling. Cars need to be driven and I feel that they will sit more often than not.
I was just going to ask this, so thanks for your input. I see an '04 in the fabled mystic chrome with 79k miles that a dealership (North State Auto) in Cali wants $49,9 for. I get that they were overbuilt and inexpensively moddable back then, but.... Other than NOSTALGIA, and unless it has the quality of music that existed before catylitic converters ruined the symphony: why in 2022 would ANYONE spend even half that amount for something with half as many miles?Agreed. Just that once you hit the 50k Terminator mark a 50k 13-14 GT500 or GT350 seems like a performance bargain.

Well I suppose it’s the same reason why most hoarders hold onto items they shared any sort of interest with. I get the bang for your buck aspect. Yes, In todays society buying a lower mileage 03 cobra that’s stock let’s say costs about lower $30’s to high $30’s. At most random cases maybe a lower $40’s depending on a color, and how low the mileage truly is. You can get a 2018+ A10 speed GT that takes away your shifting, it’s got heated and cooled seats, brembo’s. The whole cake. Which is great where technology has become. I’m sure @Bdubbs can agree to this. That’s similar to saying why buy an older 65-69 mustang for nearly 6 figures (that’s not a restomod or built) that’s just merely low mileage. With the wonky steering, squishy drum brakes, etc? It’s merely because of what the car meant to you. Maybe a poster on the wall, saw the old HPtv shows, etc. I find myself in the ruffles all the time when it comes to these things. I’m often asked, why do you want so much HP, when will you ever truly get to use it? My answer generally comes back to. Not sure when, but I’ll know when I see an open road. My point being, yes things are expensive but If you want it, and or enjoy it. Then do it. If you’d prefer a car you see more of then by all means. I’m fortunate enough to have two 03 cobras, and a 13 GT500. I wanted the best of both worlds, and the market hasn’t got me to sell either one even if I’ll make a profit. Goodluck in your adventure sir.
